Petition fights for Moe roundabout

Almost 300 people have signed a petition in support of installing a roundabout at a Moe intersection.

Moe businessman Peter Calabrio, who owns a number of nearby retail buildings, has been leading the push for a roundabout to be built at the intersection of Albert and Market streets.

He says the intersection is used by elderly and disabled patrons of a nearby cafe.

"They're coming in there in their [walking] frames and wheelchairs and we don't want to see any of them injured," he said.

"We don't want to end up with a fatality there."

Latrobe city councillors are expected to vote on the issue at tonight's general council meeting.

However, installing the roundabout does not have the support of the council's officers, who have instead recommended slowing down traffic with line markings and by installing rubber splitter islands and land markers.
